Gun owners vulnerable to theft

In a recent letter to the editor, the writer question the logic of the new law restricting publication of gun owners' addresses because bad guys might target those homes. He stated: "Wait: They told us that guns make us safer." I think an important point was missed!

Burglars, interested in stealing guns, which are worth hundreds of dollars each and easily sold on the street, would target the home when the owner was at work or away on vacation. Now, instead of the gun in the hands of a law-abiding citizen it could be used by robbers, drug dealers, etc. In regard to safety, that only applies when the owner is home.
